Just spent the weekend away at my parents home, where they dont have the internet. The idea was to be to spend some time away from the net and the site and blogging ect. Some time just to step back from my life, refresh then come back stronger, clear headed, refreshed with some new inspiration. That was the idea to spend quality time with my family, but my mind was stuck in web devlopement mode and article mode the entire time.
Being goal orianted can take your mind off the current situation, i am very goal orianted at the moment about my site, that i seem to think and notice nothing outside of this frame of thoughts. I eat, sleep and breath this!!!
I know this state has allowed me to get some good ideas for the site but at the same time i didn’t enjoy my time away as i was so deeply preocupied in my head about the site and getting back so i could get on the net and check the site stats.
I think it is a good thing when you have a dream or a vision you want to achieve, let it be with you all day long. Think and talk about your goals, you would be supprised when you talk to some people about your goals the support you get or usally your ideas go straight over thier heads. Which is one of the reasons i think you have to allow yourself to ponder and self talk your goals personally. My family and freinds know nothing about wordpress, blogger, affiliate marketing , paypal….ect. so discussing my goals and plans with them will not really get me anyware and thier feed back is usally one of confusion/negativity.
Which is a shame some goals and plans you cant share with people because they dont know anything about them, you have to hold your goals to yourself and self nurture them. Self talking your goals you will give yourself a more open and positive understanding as you will know how to question your own thinking, but could be bad as you are blinded by your own percepition or level of understanding.
But goals can mess with your head especially when you are some place that has games, conversation, technology and people that don’t have anything to do with the goal , people will wonder what has got in to you. Being in a place that had nothing related to my goals and ambitions made me spend allot of time in my own mind where i could create the visions of the things i wanted to be working on. So i spent allot of time preocupied with my own thoughts.
Just the thing im not happy with was the fact i travelled to see these people and as soon as i got there i was already thinking what i was going to do when i got back, so the whole time felt just like i wasnt really there. My communication sucked as well as i wasnt thinking about what was going on around me as i was having massive hour long bursts of inspiration and goal focused self talk.
Maybe something for the future, when this happens go to oneside jot down on notepade some ideas and then remind myself why i decided to take time away from work.
